Events & Retreats

Release what is ready to fall, and open to what wants to rise.
A soulful day of yoga and surrender to life’s natural transitions.

As the seasons shift, so too are we invited to soften, release, and realign. Join us for a nourishing one-day retreat rooted in the wisdom of autumn — a time to slow down, turn inward, and gently let go of what no longer serves.

Through mindful yoga, breathwork, guided reflection, and rest, we return to ourselves and discover what we truly need. We’ll embrace the beauty of nature, taking in the scents and colors of autumn through a forest bathing experience.

In a supportive and serene space, we’ll honor the natural rhythm of change and explore how to meet it with grace, courage, and compassion.

Come as you are — leave grounded, open, and renewed.
